Start children off on the way they should go,
and even when they are old they will not turn from it.
Proverbs 22:6
WELCOME TO WAYPOINT KIDS!
We meet Sundays, during worship.
We're so happy and honored to have your kids worship with us!
​
-
We have something for infants through 5th graders. With each class we build upon the things learned in previous classes to engage our kids with Jesus through song, God’s word, and community with others.
-
Starting in preschool, we use the Grow Curriculum to teach how the Bible is one big story that points to Jesus.
-
All of our classroom volunteers must complete a multi step process involving reference checks, background checks, and ongoing training.
